Template talk:Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Comment
Dear user:qrc2006: I am one of the contributors to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Sexology_and_Sexuality, and as such, spend a majority of my time on sexology and sexuality articles. You might like to help with that project if you have an interest in the subject.
We also have a portal sexuality that you could help with as it needs updating on a regular basis. The featured article needs to change oaccasionally, as does the Featured Picture and the "Did you know" section.
The problem with what you are attempting with your template is that the field of sexology and sexuality (abbreviated to "sex" in your template) is very, very broad. And that is limiting it to human sexuality, and not including "sex" related topics of other animals.
Look at these to get an idea. Look at Category:Sexology, Category:Human_sexuality, List_of_sexology_topics, Category:Sexuality-related lists, category:sex moves, List of sex positions, sex acts, List of BDSM topics, Category:Sex_education and of course category:sex.
How your template could represent all of these is hard to imagine. But, give it your best shot. Atom 21:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- everything has a hierarchy to it, perhaps the box could just refer to top or mid level hierarchy pages and let those pages be used for directing users to low level details pages. Though a lot of these higher order pages probably would need to be created first. Mathmo Talk 18:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
